Spugford,
..............those (flying pay etc) are the terms and conditions of service. If people don't like it then tough. Don't whinge just because they don't get flying pay - the application forms for aircrew are available to all.
I'd quite happily give a 'flying pay' type addition to most blunties - but I'd have to insist that we took one out and shot them every month or so so that 50% were dead after 18 years - that's how many of my initial FTS course are dead.
And it's aircrew who are accused of having chips on shoulders!!!!!
